    Need Link or Pics to GTS manual door release

    Yes, through the hatch is how you get in in all circumstances since the manual door release over-rides everything. Only problem is roll bar is over the latch - there is room to operate the latch but now very difficult to even find and contort to operate.

    Need Link or Pics to GTS manual door release

    Friend has to move car, KeyFob not opening car. Need to explain how to get in through back window. Reason I need pic is that the roll bar makes it virtually impossible to reach or see the latch. Just a pic would suffice. I thought it would be an easy internet search but NOTHING - I'm...

    1996 GTS High Idle (2500-3500) at high altitude (8000-9000 ft)

    BARO is probably used to establish backpressure since manifold pressure needs no further characterization. The table is linear and consists of two points - so I'm been told. It is typically disabled for boosted cars which I don't understand.

    California's new Exhaust law

    WARNING: Tirade follows: Although Kalifornia is notorious, I'm sad to say it is us, We The People who are to blame. We blabber that we love Freedom and Liberty yet cannot explain what that actually means. Ironically, the Chinese do - and it can be explained with a single word: TOLERANCE...

    1996 GTS Latest Factory Flash Before SCT Flash

    There appears to be more JTEC into on jeep forums(!) I'm leaning towards a "send PCM in" tune from an outfit that has the knowledge to directly program w/o using SCT, etc. - at least that is what I believe can be done and is the best approach. There was some talk that SCT does not flash memory...

    Amazingly, the vast portion of JTEC info is on Jeep forums! Jeep guys are a different class - they just don't have the wealth that people who bot new Vipers have. So they try to do everything themselves. JTEC woes on those forums are very depressing. There was some mention that only the 1996...

    Well, it surely can't be people quit modding them... I don't understand why AEM dropped the V1 P&P Viper ECU given the horrible difficulties of programming JTEC.

    Valve Cover Paint

    Mine polished up pretty good with classic Bon Ami - then some classic Armor All to seal them.

    For you Baby Boomers who grew up using Craftsman tools.....

    Re: that old Craftsman ratchet: I had a 3/8 swivel head fail and Sears replaced it with the cheapest one they had - in fact, they had a box of the under the cash register since the cheap ones fail all the time. They do make a premium ratchet that is actually comparable to the old one, however...

    Tuning By Sean Roe...

    Wow, just found this thread. I did some business with Norm back around 2000. Norm would really go the extra mile. ...and he let me borrow his Viper (!)

    1996 GTS High Idle (2500-3500) at high altitude (8000-9000 ft)

    An UPDATE and a couple QUESTIONS... UPDATE: DRBIII won't communicate with Viper - says I need to use the correct Super Card. Friend's "Fat Tablet" Snap-On did communicate. What to do.... I guess try DRBIII on another car???? WHAT IS BARO USED FOR?: Why does Roe have tunes for different...

    1996 GTS Latest Factory Flash Before SCT Flash

    I think I have my first firing solution: Correct all sensor/wiring issues with car. Install Widebands and a Scan Gauge II (timing, TPS, and 2 others - need IAC but may not be an available parameter) Dyno pull with A/F (no timing data since that is basically what a canned tune chooses for you)...

    1996 GTS Latest Factory Flash Before SCT Flash

    Steve-Indy, Who or what is Prefix? Regarding Dan, I hate taking up a tuner's valuable time. I am in the market for a canned tune and specifically not a custom tune - my car has 85k on it and I would not 100% certify that a custom tune would be tuning out some wonky sensor that's not...

    1996 GTS Latest Factory Flash Before SCT Flash

    SCT recommends getting latest factory flash before flashing tune. The closest 4 dealers cannot flash a 96 GTS. They no longer have the DRBIII / WDS to do the flash. They could not tell me what flashes are available - but if I bring the car in and they hook up to it, they will get a list of...

    1996 GTS High Idle (2500-3500) at high altitude (8000-9000 ft)

    Just saw on Roe's site that when you ask for a tune, you specify altitude. 0-2k, 2k-5k, etc. You can't even "recal" with am Engine-Off/Key On if you drive from 4k-9k in a half hour. I drive from 0-9k altitude and was planning on trip to Pike's Peak and Rocky Mountain play where you get to...

    My Creampuff NA Build

    Old thread but... fly in a tuner.... was hard to pass up. Wouldn't it be better to still remote tune with any of the "Top 3" tuners mentioned in this thread? When you fly in a guy, he is going to be dealing with having to get the job done when he is there - and if any complications arise what...

    Latest year a DRBIII can be used on?

    Friend wants to use mine on a new Challenger. I said it won't be of any use. Who is right?

    Did anyone ever figure out the Idle Hang problem?

    The bad battery thoughts should also include a bad alternator that is outputting noise or an AC component. An AC component really messes with PCMs.

    Idle Hang

    Just thinking about what these different experiences have in common. Intake gasket and VEC1 point to MAP. I've had hangs as high as 3500 rpm when driving from 4000 ft altitude to 9000 ft. There is no BARO input. Might be related to manifold pressure. Not knowing ECU priorities, one would...

    Mid-Engined Dodge Viper Rendered as C8 ChevroletCorvette Rival-Auto Evolution

    Any kind of Viper/Corvette street racing is.... boring. You have to do it with a Sleeper if you want any kind of excitement.

    Anyone Consider Going to Sequential Shift?

    They list T56 Magnum (and not a plain T56.) I would be concerned about the "short throw" pitch if you have single cone synchros because in that case, you need a crowbar for a shifter.

    Door Panel: Aft edge pulling away from door then catches on weather stripping

    Both sides. Seems there is only a screw on the bottom and just the snap over the inner sheet metal at the window opening. And it really doesn't want to go solid against the inner metal when pushed either. Seems fasteners along the aft edge are needed.
